lace, are the favorite, though the copper
COIored shades Of cashmere and sage,
trimmed with pink, are not to be de
spised. White wooden for indoor and
out of-door summer wear will
prove a formidable rival to the
wash fabrics, the ginghams and
sateens. White cashmeres, white
homespuns, white fanGels, white
Grape and white nuns vellings will
be quite the fabrics this year. Spring
gowns are made as ones fancy chooses.
The tournure is doomed. It IS going. In
three months it Will be gone. The
pOlOnaIse has been in eclipse. 1t Is
slowing working out. For the rest, Jet
beads, ribbons, lace. You can be as dar-
ing in color and combinations Of color as
your complexion and your conscience
will allow. You can load yourself with
ornaments till you jingle and gilt er and
fash like q half civilized eastern queen.
Light fabrics Will be made up with
blouse waists with belts, or basques hav
ing blouse fronts and girdIes, some have
full drapery over the Dust and shoulders,
others having bias fronts, and others
tapping surplice fashion across the front.
In the blouse frOnted basque, the blouse
extends only to the waist line and is there
buttOned over a vest or held by a girdle
or belt arranged to suit the taste of the
wearer.
One of the new importatiODs from En-
gland is the Girt0n college cap worn by
the Princess of Wales, also the "PrinCess
of Wales" cap. This esp is very chic in
deed, but 1t is nothing more nOrless than
the iaunty compact head covering which
the spare and agile jockeys use in the
RUM ne races. They are really our old
''jockey caps" smiled upon by royalty.
However, they look far better than they
read.
Sleeves are in q transition state, and
the latest fashion appears to be a full
puff from the shoulder to the elbow.
This sleeve, however, is seen only on
tea gowns, mstinees and other home
toilets designed to be either picturesque
or historical in effect. Another sleeve,
! called the "Medici," is pulled at the
elbow and thsn. slashed to show a
bright under puff beneath. Before
eieCung for this style it would be well
to consider, first OF all, if it will prove
/ becoming, and next whether the intend
ed wearer possesses as wrSp q loose
